Farewell to my Muse ..

I am now empty

I am …

Yin without Yang

Strawberries without cream

Love without hate

Simon without Garfunkle

For … Late last night I caught my Muse packing his bags

I pleadedI beggedEven got down on my hands and kneesAll to no availMuse was adamantHad had enoughEnough of what?I askedEnough of me he repliedI was struck dumbWhat had I done?What had I done?Muse then sat me downLike a naughty childAnd gently began to explain to meThe reasons why he was leavingWith tears streaming down my faceI picked up my ever present padAnd noted them down

Even as I sat there listeningI knew Muse was telling me the truthI do not think that he really wanted to goBut ..To be honestI had become such an embarrassmentTo his ancestryTo the conceptThat he had no choiceBut to goAfter I waved him goodbyeI went and sat in the fire chairAnd thought to myself

Fool

We had kicked around togetherFor such a long timeIt was just my own pure selfishnessThat drove him awayWhy did I not listen to him?Take note of his wise words of wisdom?After all he was my MuseHe was there for meFor meNot for anyone elseFor me …

God damn me

God damn me

God damn me

I have now seen the error of my ways

I am now packedI am now readyI am readyTo begin my own personal journeyTo reclaim my MuseTo bring him backWhere he belongsTo bring him back to
